Notes
Altar, inscription complete. The width listed above is for the inscription on the altar only. The base of the altar is 30 cm wide. There is no evidence of Jewish or Christian inhabitants in Tel et-Talaya. This altar is a pagan one to the god Theandrios. Evidence of worship of this deity is widely attested in several places in Syria. Other epigraphs bearing Theandrios' name were found in 'Atil, Zor'ah, Bostra, Auwas, and Kanawat.
